One of the vexing challenges in the DCUO is ramping up your skill points, attainable from in-world feats. Some are frankly pretty challenging, but others are rather easy and can be completed quickly. Mr. Cold Fuzion has a proverbial laundry list of easy feats a new player can complete at his YouTube channel. I've decided to focus on his "Feat A Day" series, starting with the style feats. It's quick simple, and if you work at it you can ramp up your toon. If you're new, give his work a look and see you in-world!
Caught up with some current rl issues, so a quick post on this weekend's "Bonus Catalyst" event... better than a proverbial "poke in the eye", but not by much. See you in-world!
Obsidian Chill has a great overview of what is the best movement power... and the short answer (per his analysis) is... Super Speed! As to the why, you'll need to watch his review, and he basically does an extensive breakdown of each movement mode. Interestingly, he's not a fan of skimming or flight (for tanking, anyways), but if you're interested in learning about (or changing) your movement mode, do give the work below a few minutes! See you in-world!
I have to admit that when the new metal series was released, I didn't really have much of an idea of what the Metal Knights or what the Batman Who Laughs was about. Sooo... I watched Comics Explained outline of the Batman Who Laughs, and was really impressed with the story. A bit four-color (imo), but still a great story and worth a watch. Be warned, the story narrative is over an hour long (actually an hour and 23 minutes), but well worth the time. Just run some lower level episodes, and enjoy the narrative on your second screen. Until then, I'll see you in-world.
After months of patient readers, the last "in-depth" power set review is here! Those who are in the know realize I'm a "tank" guy (mostly for stress-relief), but of all the non-tank power sets, quantum is my personal favorite. Just so happens to be that Mr. Obsidian Chill put out an update power set review earlier this year, which is posted below...
The Quantum power set (at least as of this posting) seems to work well in both aspects (controller and DPS... though I tend to focus on the DPS aspect). Still, as a "squish" non-tank, you're likely going to focus on ranged attacks (as opposed to melee attacks). Nonetheless, it is relatively easy to master, has great visual appeal, and is simply fun to play (last part, imo)! If you're looking for a controller power set to try, I'd recommend giving it a try!
Stargirl - JSA - DC Comics, by FioreSofen
Onto Stargirl... one of the more recent (e.g. 1996) notable super-heroines in the DC Universe. As the DC Universe has gone through a multitude of continuity changes, it can be challenging to follow her background, but one notable aspect I liked was that she treats being a superhero as a "job", with a public identity (event though she sports a mask), and job responsibilities. To get a better sense about Stargirl, please visit the comic character wiki, or proceed onto the upcoming television version of Stargirl's wiki! Do enjoy, and I'll see you in-world!
This is an easy feat - it just takes time to get... specifically 13 days. All you need to do is find Batwoman 13 times, and you'll get a 50 point feat. Watched some YouTube videos about it, but they were a bit distracting. Went to the forums, and found a nice map (courtesy of Jade Rebel), so this the large version of the map for reference purposes. If you'd like to see the full map, please follow this link to the forums!
As far as Batwoman is concerned, it looks like it is going to be a woke train-wreck, but... we'll see how it pans out. Best case, it is good, worst case, it'll gather virtual dust on the DC streaming service. Until then, happy hunting her down, and see you in-world!
Continuing with the DCUO powerset reviews, we're onto Hard Light (aka, Light), a controller set that seems to have lost popularity over the most recent DCUO "upgrades". I say this as I haven't seen toons with this power as much as I used to, as a couple of years ago. Still, it's a graphically nice set, even it the "evil / fear" version of it appears to be more popular. Still, I've posted iEddy Gaming's review of it below....
... followed by Obsidian Chill's extensive analysis of the power set. His work is from last year, but much of his material is still relevant for Hard Light. Personally, I used it briefly, but it wasn't for me, but if it intrigues you, please give it a try! See you in-world!
Although the blog focuses on DC characters, I couldn't pass up posting a small bit on TheDailyBugle.net! With J.K. Simmons reprising his role as J. Jonah Jameson (from the original Spiderman Triology), it presents "news" about Spiderman (and the Marvel Cinematic Universe), with a dose of tounge-in-cheek humor. Also, Sony is using the site to address plot hole in the MCU, and even has a little section called "Blip Blog", where people who dissapeard during Thanto's snap have come back and endured a multitude of misadventures, from disloyal spouses using the blip to runaway and start a new life, to stories of insurance fraud! If you haven't already done so, pay TheDailyBugle.net a visit asap!
